Case Number: 6635
Court denied petitioner's request to terminate the biological father's parental rights due to his absence in the minor's life while he was incarcerated. Specifically, the court found termination was not warranted under §2511(a)(1) because father did attempt to modify his visitation orders during the six-month period but was unable to do so due to court delays. The court further found termination was not appropriate under §2511(a)(2) because father was not incapacitated to the point of no remediable efforts.
